Strange, it works for me. I'll have a look.

The last 4 section are cylinder/heads details. The exact format I can't
remember on the top of my head, but the detect-lib docs has the details.
You can then use this to calculate the size of the disk.

This was what I was working on until I got interrupted. What I tryed to do
was use sed and cut to print some of the details from the file to screen.
But I failed to manage this feat. I might have time to take it up again
